I know that this is the place where Windows and the installed programs save their temporary files.

I'm looking a tool that could delete all temporary files in my Windows 7.Thanks for any tip.

People often forget that Windows does have a cleanup utility :

  • In Windows Explorer, right-click the disk and select Properties
  • Click the "Disk Cleanup" button and wait for it to analyze the disk
  • It will then display several categories and the amount of memory that you will save per each.
    Clicking on each category displays a helpful description.
  • The category you are looking for is "Temporary files".
    Place a check-mark on it and click OK.

sounds very good on paper, but these MS "tools" leave a lot of files and folders – jet Jun 3 '11 at 15:00

  • In Windows Explorer go to %temp%
  • Select all Files (Ctrl-A) and press Shift-Delete
  • If it complains that it can't delete a file (because it's in use) just select 'Skip'.
